HESI RN EXIT 1 PROCTORED EXAM
Which assessment should the home health nurse include during a routine home visit for a client who was discharged home with a suprapubic catheter?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Measuring abdominal girth may not directly assess the condition of the suprapubic catheter insertion site. B. Observing the insertion site is crucial for assessing for signs of infection, inflammation, or other complications related to the suprapubic catheter. C. Assessing the perineal area may be important for clients with other types of urinary catheters, but it is not directly related to the assessment of a suprapubic catheter. D. Palpating the flank area may be indicated for assessing kidney function or detecting flank pain, but it is not specific to monitoring a suprapubic catheter.
